RFR: 8256865: Foreign Memory Access and Linker API are missing NPE checks [v2]

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

> Both the Foreign Memory Access and the Foreign Linker APIs leave something to be desired when it comes to handling NPEs - first, most of the API javadoc is oblivious to NPEs being thrown. Secondly, not all API method implementations add expicit NPE checks - with the result of NPE often being thrown very deep in the call chain - if at all. Third, test for API coverage of nulls is ad-hoc.
> 
> This patch rectifies all these issues. To increase coverage for null injected into APIs, this patch introduces a new framework for testing an API in bulk, so that all methods are reflectively called with some values replaced with nulls, so that all combinations are tried.
> 
> I've also added, as part of this patch, a test to cover the statics in MemoryAccess which were not covered throughly.
